Emory Amos Hebard was born in Carmel, Maine on September 28, 1917 and raised in Northampton, Massachusetts. He graduated from Northampton High School in 1934 and Middlebury College in 1938, and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
He lived for a time in New York City, and was employed by the United States Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C.
During his student years Hebard was an anti-war activist, opposing U.S. intervention in Europe.
When the U.S. became involved in World War II, Hebard joined the United States Coast Guard. He remained in the Coast Guard Reserve following the war. Hebard was recalled to active duty for the Korean War and served from 1950 to 1952. Following this active duty tour, he continued with the Coast Guard Reserve, and attained the rank of lieutenant commander.
